As a model you have to be strong, courageous and be armed with confidence as you gonna meet a lot of other better looking models out but that shouldnt intimidate you because as a model your supposed to know and believe in your own uniqueness and embrace it.. WALK THE WALK!!!

MODELING HAS CHANGED
Fashion modelling has changed in recent times. Whereas in the past the trend was towards the super-skinny, concerns over the health implications have led to debates about what constitutes a good model.
It is still true that for the majority of such modelling, individuals need to be thin.
The fashion models currently doing their thing on catwalks around the country and abroad are anything but large.
However, it is now seen an unacceptable for firms to encourage female models to be as skinny as they can be.
Indeed, the organisers of the 2006 Madrid Fashion Week opted to ban size zero models.
This decision had long-lasting consequences and raised the profile of the weight issue in the industry.
For the event, a minimum body mass index (BMI) of 18 was imposed.
BMI is an estimation of body fat based on the height and weight of an individual.
It is widely used because it is simple to work out. However, it is not a particularly precise measurement.
These days, the pressure of models to be very thin is perhaps not quite as great as it was in the past.
Another development is the rise in number and prominence of plus models.
As the population gets bigger, the demand for clothing that suits larger women is becoming greater and this means there is more work for larger models.
It is difficult to predict how much modelling will continue to change over coming years, but it is important that you remain adaptable so you can make the most of whatever comes your way.
